Recalling medic for mission (5)
I believe the answer is:
alamo
'mission' is the definition.
(famous mission and siege from the Texas revolution)
'recalling medic' is the wordplay.
'recalling' becomes 'a la' ('a la' something means in a way reminiscent of it).
'medic' becomes 'mo' (medical officer).
'ala'+'mo'='ALAMO'
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for alamo that I've seen before include "The answer is a place of siege" , "Texan battle" , "don't forget it!" , "Where Davy Crockett died, 1836" , "Texas fort, scene of famous siege by Mexican army" .)
